Banana Cream Mousse Cake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Cakes and Desserts
A cake version of Banana Cream Pie. The star is the cloud-light mousse made substantial by banana puree. A gelatin web holds the air whipped into the cream, creating a sliceable dessert that feels like a cloud. Lemon juice protects color and cuts the sweetness.

Tip: Slice with a wet knife for clean cuts.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the mousse collapse?
The cream got too warm from the gelatin or you overmixed. Whipped cream structure is fragile; fold gently!
